hope I helped :)
3*60 = 180 minutes
80/180 = 0.44
1-0.44 = 0.56
it was a 56% decrease in commute time

Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a number of ways to get there, but the short of it is that a horizontal line has the equation ...
y = constant
The constant value must be chosen to match the y-value of points on the line. Here, that is 5. The equation of the line is ...
y = 5
_____
<em>Another way</em>
You can write the equation in slope-intercept form if you know the slope and the y-intercept. The line crosses the y-axis at y = 5, so that is the value of the y-intercept.
The "rise" between the two points is 5 -5 = 0. The "run" between the two points is 5-0 = 5, so the slope is ...
m = rise/run = 0/5 = 0
Then the slope-intercept equation is ...
y = mx + b . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
y = 0x +5
Simplifying, we get ...
y = 5
Using the given information, we can say the following:
Width (W) = x
Length (L) = (2x - 4)
Area of Rectangle = L × W
Using this, we can formulate an equation for rectangle in question:
x(2x - 4) = 30
Expand and move everything to one side:
2x² - 4x - 30 = 0
Simplify by dividing everything on both sides by 2:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factorise:
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5 (a dimension cannot be negative so this is not the solution we want)
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 (this is the solution)
x = W = 3"
L = 2x - 4
L = 2(3) - 4
L = 2"
So, the length the rectangle is 2" and the width is 3"
